Wolf, Ramon maybe it's a few crumbs to us plebs - with no sight of 5.1, not even for selected field testers - I guess they have to show some progress yesno??
Wolf, I broadly agree with you - installing the 4.1.x path was fraught, and the more complex it gets the worse chance of blowing something up I got a pretty neat ad-hoc patch in 5.0.4 but this has not found it's way into the releases so every time I have to check if I need to apply, can apply and remeber to do it - and then test it I very much restrict myself to standard stuff now - I have done deep fiddling in the past but make a rod for my own back - so have stopped doing it Even then I got caught out going from 5.0.4 to 5.0.9 - doing something that was not well documented and the behaviour changed causing several days of work just to get the behaviour that worked before Peter On Sun, 08 Aug 2004 11:47:14 +0100, Wolf Koelling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Ram�n Jim�nez wrote: > >> Bill McCormick wrote: >> >>> Just to give you an incentive to drool over 5.0.11 I can tell you all >>> that the complete XMLHTTP implementation of the hyperevent broker sans >>> JVM has made it in this kit including all the configurable bits >> >> >> Very good news.
